Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Zhang Xiu thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out who he could defeat.

Judging from Uncle Liu's indifferent expression at the moment, he was afraid that he really couldn't beat anyone.

It hurts my self-esteem!

I can’t beat him. I just can’t beat him.

There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts, this is the truth.

If it is a poem or an article, there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people, and it is difficult to judge who is better or worse, except for the obvious differences.

But martial arts is different. If you are not convinced, you can just compete directly. The winner is clear at a glance and there is no ambiguity at all.

When he came here from Hongnong County, he was proud. In his mind, a military general like him with superb martial arts skills was something that Emperor Liu could only meet but not seek.

The facts are a slap in the face.

He secretly made up his mind to study martial arts diligently and at the same time put away the arrogance in his heart.

"Uncle, I'm defeated. I'm willing to follow you to train, but I'm a military commander and I'm not proficient in training."

Liu Yu was prepared for this question. He smiled and took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Zhang Xiu.

"Just take a look. If you practice according to the above steps, you will definitely be able to train elite soldiers."

Zhang Xiu took the book with both hands and saw four big words on it.

"Real Records of Military Training"

The book is not thick, only a few dozen pages.

He opened the book with doubt and read it carefully. This book not only recorded the process of military training in detail, but also wrote every step in great detail. Even people who knew nothing about military affairs could train elite soldiers by following the steps above.

After reading it, Zhang Xiu was stunned and speechless. For a moment, he just stood there in a daze.

Jia Xu noticed something was wrong with Zhang Xiu. He stood up, took the book from Zhang Xiu, and after reading only a few pages, he developed a deep admiration for Liu Yu. Although he himself did not lead troops, he often dealt with soldiers, so he naturally knew what kind of people the soldiers of that era were like.

Ordinary soldiers also have to undergo training before they can go to the battlefield, but the training process is very simple. It is nothing more than a basic formation. As for other things, the soldiers have to figure them out on the battlefield by themselves.

Many soldiers died on the battlefield before they understood the key. Those who managed to survive the battles all prayed silently in their hearts for the blessing of their ancestors.

This also shows from another perspective the importance of veterans in the army. An veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles and is still alive is definitely a national treasure in the army.

If we train soldiers according to the book "Records of Military Training" written by the emperor's uncle, we cannot say that we can directly train soldiers who are capable of fighting in a hundred battles, but we can definitely train elite soldiers. After these soldiers enter the battlefield, their survival rate will be greatly improved.

After a certain amount of training, they will definitely be able to unleash strong fighting power.

Liu Yu had a faint smile on his face. Looking at the expressions of the two men, he knew that he had stayed up for two nights to rewrite this book on military training based on "Records of Military Training", and it seemed that the effect should be good.

This is no wonder. Not to mention in this era, even if the span is extended to two thousand years, the only person in history who can explain the art of training soldiers in such detail is Qi Jiguang.

The most important thing is that he is not like Liu Yu, who only talks about military affairs on paper. This book is written based on his personal experience of leading troops, and truly combines theory with practice.

"Youwei, this book is for you. If you use it to train soldiers, can you train elite soldiers?"

Only after hearing Liu Yu's question did Zhang Xiu come to his senses from his surprise.

"Is the emperor's uncle really going to give this book to me?" Zhang Xiu found it a little unbelievable. In this era, an ordinary book is a family heirloom, let alone a book like this one on military training.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Zhang Xiu took this book and exchanged it for food, it would be enough to ensure that 20,000 soldiers in Hongnong County would have enough food and clothing for a year.

Liu Yu smiled faintly, his smile was full of calmness.

"Since I'm letting you train with the troops, I'll naturally give it to you. Go back and study it carefully to prepare for the next training."

"This book is too valuable." Zhang Xiu still sounded a little surprised.

"It's just a book. How can it be valuable or not? This book can only play its greatest role in your hands. In my hands, it is just an ordinary book."

Liu Yu's attitude was cordial and his words were sincere. Zhang Xiu was deeply moved. Since the emperor's uncle had this book, no matter who he gave it to, the soldiers trained would be good. He said this to take care of himself.

"I have heard that the emperor's uncle is kind and righteous. Seeing him today, I find that his reputation is indeed well-deserved. Please accept my greetings."

After saying this, he bowed down.

Liu Yu walked forward, pulled Zhang Xiu and said, "Youwei, there's no need to be so polite. Please stand up quickly."

Jia Xu didn't say anything, but he was observing all the time. At this moment, he had already seen a different look in Zhang Xiu's eyes.

After bringing Zhang Xiu back to Chang'an from Hongnong County, Jia Xu was not worried that Liu Yu would be able to convince Zhang Xiu, but he did not expect that things would progress so quickly.

It only took Liu Yu half a day to make Zhang Xiu surrender wholeheartedly.

He stroked his beard and smiled, with a hint of pride in his smile.

After Zhang Xiu was pulled up, he said to Liu Yu: "Uncle, I will go back to Hongnong County and urge you to organize the troops and horses as soon as possible and come to Chang'an as soon as possible."

Liu Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry. Youwei and Shuzhi have been competing in martial arts for half a day, so they must be hungry. Have some food and wine in the mansion and rest for a day. It won't be too late to leave tomorrow."

Zhang Xiu then remembered that his stomach was already rumbling, and he quickly agreed, "In that case, I won't be polite."

Several people returned to the hall, where someone had already prepared wine and food.

Zhang Xiu was so hungry that he couldn't be polite anymore and started eating with big mouthfuls.

After eating two large plates of meat, Zhang Xiu stopped eating.

Looking at several people drinking leisurely, I couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

After they drank a few more glasses of wine, Zhang Xiu was about to get up and say goodbye.

Seeing that he was anxious, Liu Yu did not try to keep him.

When Zhang Xiu left, he took out the "Treatise on Soldiers" from his arms and handed it to Liu Yu, saying, "Uncle, this book is too precious. I'd better give it to you for safekeeping. When I return to Chang'an with my uncle, you can give it to me."

Liu Yu laughed and understood Zhang Xiu's intention. After all, he was afraid that he would not need him to take the book back to Hongnong County, so he took the initiative to offer to send the book back.

This book is a priceless treasure in their eyes, but in Liu Yu's eyes, it is just a book for military training. If he wants, he can publish countless more copies.

Seeing Zhang Xiu's performance, Liu Yu naturally would not miss the opportunity to win over Zhang Xiu.

He took the book and put it back in Zhang Xiu's arms, saying with a bit of joking: "Since I'm giving it to you, this book is yours. You can't let me go back on my word."

Seeing Zhang Xiu leaving with a sincere heart, Jia Xu's smile became even more intense. If his guess was correct, Zhang Ji would soon come with his troops to surrender.
